I didn't know of that proverb; I probably know of entirely different proverbs to you, all of them in Hebrew.

It's a simple logical law. The law of identity. If I can't count on my aunt to be my aunt because she's my mother's sister, definitions are going to be perversely pointless.

Aunties don't have balls. That is why we call them aunties. Grass is green. A circle is round. Etc, etc. If we can't accept these definitions as normal and axiomatic we might as well be talking an entirely different language.

You clearly don't understand my argument. Auntie does not equal Auntie's consciousness. You know what, fuck, I'm not going through all this, just read it again.

If A =/= B, but A has C, and B has C, A's C is interchangeable with B's C.

Since this needs to be spelled out, A is Auntie's life, body, experience, everything except for conscious awareness, B is Uncle's life, body, experience, everything except for conscious awareness, and C is conscious awareness. A is still A, B is still B, C is still C. It's just that there's no difference between A's C and B's C. That makes them interchangable.

Why the fuck would you make that distinction?

Auntie's got a consciousness, and it's hers. If she were to be an uncle, it would be my uncle's consciousness, not my auntie's, because she's now my uncle.

Good for her. I'm making a point about interchangability. I made that distinction because Music Dragon challenged my claim that I might as well be someone else.
